Tim's Ducatster

We featured our friend Tim's sporty on here a little over a year ago and I thought it might be nice to show how this bike has evolved since then. This motorcycle is significant in it's simplicity. It's no uberknuck, but a totally attainable machine for anyone who has aspirations of customizing a sporty without a ton of high end skills or equipment. Tim did have some help from talented friends like Wompy of Still Kickin' but a lot of the ideas were his plenty of the exectuion too. We're not going to bother with specs on this feature, it's mostly about the photos. You can check Tim's old story here for a few specs, and if you gotta know what that silver exhaust is done with, it's simple high-heat silver BBQ paint and seems to be holding up pretty well so far. The name is just tongue in cheek because of Tim's paint choice and because I know he really does want a Ducati!

I dig it. The past few months have provided so many Sporty builds here on the CC and just in general and even though most of them aren't the most original thing in the world I'm just glad to see people messing with their bikes. This one may be simple for the fact that it uses so many stock parts and designs but there are a lot of nice details there as well. I'm a die-hard Sporty fan and this thing just looks like fun. I would have left off the white text on the tank though; guess I don't get the joke.

btw- REALLY SWEET SPORTY- MINE IS COMIN' ALONG- on the slow down now though b/c of an eye injury while grinding- NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS...SAFETY GLASSES ARE THE COOLEST GLASSES YOU OWN!PERIOD!. Drills are for metal, not your eyes, Which is what the ophthamologist had to do to me after I got metal in my eye- DRILLED MY F'N EYEBALL- NO SHIT- NOT FUN
